Hypothesis of strong chaos and anomalous diffusion in coupled symplectic maps

Abstract

We investigate the high dimensional Hamiltonian chaotic dynamics in $N$ coupled area-preserving maps. We show the existence of an enhanced trapping regime caused by trajectories performing a random walk {\em inside} the area corresponding to regular islands of the uncoupled maps. As a consequence, we observe long intermediate regimes of power-law decay of the recurrence time statistics (with exponent $\gamma =0.5$) and of ballistic motion. The asymptotic decay of correlations and anomalous diffusion depend on the stickiness of the $N$-dimensional invariant tori. Detailed numerical simulations show weaker stickiness for increasing $N$ suggesting that high-dimensional Hamiltonian systems asymptotically fulfill the demands of the usual hypotheses of strong chaos.
